I could have written your post - It was FANTASTIC to read the responses, thanks for posting and thanks for the encouraging and informative posts! Jenn

Wowza! You look fab! Keep up the great work, you are an inspiration! Jenn

Welcome! Lots of Canadians here - I am from Ontario! Good Luck with your banding! Jenn

Congrats! What an accomplishment, I look forward to joining you! Jenn

Hi, Not sure if this has been posted before but here you go: 1 tub fat free yogurt 2 packages sugar free Jello Prepare jello according to package. When the jello is almost set, add tub of yogurt. Blend with electric beater until well combined. Regfridgerate until set. It makes sort of a mousse. Yum! Jenn

I totally hear you! I was just about to figure out how to post about this, but your post sums it up so nicely! I was banded on Thursday, and have a tightness in my chest and the 'baseball' feeling, although without the burping action. Kind of feels like a burp stuck? Anyway, I literally feel your pain, I am hoping it goes away with time, otherwise I have just made a REALLY bad decision getting banded! Any more advice would be greatly appreciated, hope you are feeling better soon! Jenn

Surgery complete! It went well, My surgery was at 10:00, I was in the car to go home at 2:00. I was very groggy, and slept most of yesterday. I am breastfeeding, so I have decided to not take any pain medication (tylenol if it comes down to that), so far so good! A little sore, but certainly nothing like recovering from a c-section. Thanks for checking in on me! Jenn ps I was talking with a women waiting to get a fill (she got compelety de-filled to go to Disney) - she lost 130 lbs in a year! With a 4 and 5 year old!

I am being banded tomorrow. I have two little ones and am also feeling a mixture of relief, excitment, anxiety and fear. I think it is normal, however, not easy! Congratulations on your decision, good luck with your banding! Thanks Juli for your encouraging words. Jenn
